Yes, there is a reason. Attachments are removed and stored in the archives/private/listname/attachments/ directory by 'Scrubber'. Scrubber is invoked in 3 ways to do this. 1) if Non-digest options->scrub_nondigest is Yes, all messages will be scrubbed in incoming message processing. 2) messages are scrubbed in digest processing for the 'plain' format digest. 3) messages are scrubbed for the pipermail archiving. If you don't want any attachments scrubbed and saved, you have to be sure scrub_nondigest is No, archiving is off, and the list is not digestable (digestable = No on Digest options). You can delete them, but then they won't be available to digest subscribers whose digests have links to them. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
